Lost IP address after "omv-firstaid" configuration

FrancisGetsBold · 9. November 2019

Hi all,
Thanks for all the postings, I have learned a lot regarding OMV from this forum.
Recently, I have difficulty in installation of Portainer in omv 5.x. One solution is that re-configuration of network after entering "omv-firstaid".

After installation of docker the network interface is broken and DNS does not work.
Use omv-firstaid to reconfigure the network interface. After that installation of Portainer worked for me.

However, after I tried to follow steps in ssh, the lines in terminal frozen at "in configuration, please", something like that, for a long time.
Then I force to close the terminal, and found out that I cannot re-connect to server using original IP address.
After I type "IP addr", the new address doesn't work either.

Please help!

omv-firstaid should generally be ran from console for this reason (especially when there is a possibility the IP may change)...

If you can't log in with the old IP... I would log into your router/switch and check what IP's it has assigned. You should be able to figure it out.

If that is not possible, download Angry IP scanner onto a device that is on your network, and run it. It should find all IP's currently available on your network.

Under Windows I prefer to use Advanced Port Scanner, but to each his (or her) own.

Thanks, actually, this time I use the console and enter the omv-firstaid again, and "configure the network interface " again to reset the setting, and obtained new IP address.

how were you able to connect to your machine since it didn't had any IP? I have the same problem and when the issue occurs I don't know how to access my machine, since it's not being given an IP from the router.

When "it worked" he posted he logged in a console (with a display attached) and got a new IP address (which he probably found either in his router or via the command ip a)
